I remember hearing about the Filipino protests for ceasefire within Palestine.
I remember being glad to see the protests being done in solidarity with our fellow oppressed — having had a history of being colonized and all — and then, my father begrudgingly says, "Ang dami-dami na nga nating problema dito, nakikisawsaw pa kayo sa gulo!" [Tagalog: we already have so many problems here, but there you are joining in their chaos!]
I was immediately pissed — was it so bad to show our solidarity with Palestinians in our own land? — but, even in the moment, deep down, I knew my father's response was some form of valid. We can barely live in our own country still neck-deep in poverty as the corrupt manipulate their way into plundering the masses. I mean, if the 2022 national presidential elections was any indication, we were all fucking cheated systemically! We're living in a damned nightmare woven for decades upon decades by the rich and powerful, like the Marcoses.
A Facebook user once posted in a political discussion forum that we're living in a failed democracy. When I saw and stared at the post, I realized... yeah, we really fucking are. Putangina.
My father's comment about Filipino protests for Palestine implies a lot of valid points — we're in our own kind of hell, and we really should be striving to better ourselves first before we call help for other people... and yet, at the same time, I can't deny that, at least, in my head, heart, and soul, I'm fiercely chanting From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
I hope that one day we'll all see the day when we're all finally free — free from oppression. Free from corruption. Free to live and just be.
I hope that one day, we'll all be free.

Fire is pretty as it dances in the air. Fire consumes the small twigs we throw in it. Fire is both life and destruction. Fire is warm and comforting. Fire burns away all duck enemies. Fire enlightens the dark path ahead. So many reasons to like fire.
Join the ducks at the fire Stream, we’ll make s’mores.
not you too jd...
